please excuse my ignorance. i did do some searching, but i was trying to see how i can tell if a waterpump is leaking?

i'm not honestly sure where it even is in the car, i couldn't tell from the couple pictures that were posted. i guess some of the bolts on the pump will have turned pink from coolant? or just some other pink stains somewhere?

wondering if anyone happened to have any pics?

thanks

If you did search and actually read the posts... there are pictures between posts to show you where the location and how to spotted the leak.

Thank you sleepy. No wonder, I was searching "waterpump" stuff instead of "water pump" (2 words)

Thanks for the threads!

It seems that i have to get my water pump replaced as well. There is visible pink residue in the engine bay. I have read the threads on this issue and would appreciate if someone could confirm the part number for the water pump.

is it 16100-39506?

I just checked mine and *KNOCK ON WOOD* no leak!

Either I lucked out on my '08 or I haven't been pushing my car hard enough...

My '08 doesnt have pink from what I can tell right now, maybe because I have crazy low miles on it.. How can I tell my cars in-service date so I can see when the powertrain runs out? Im the second owner.

hmm, i think call a dealer with your vin number, they should be able to tell you for sure.

(i could not find it anywhere on the owners.lexus site where i have a couple vin's entered)

I just monitor my coolant level and see if it drops below the F mark. I'm just lazy..
